摘要: Abstract Growth hormone (HGH) in plasma of volunteers at rest was barely detectable concentration during the day except for minor post prandial rises. Early sleep a major rise occurred and this related to first cycle stages III IV by EEG criteria. Glucose infusion nearly doubling blood sugar failed suppress HGH release. In anorexia nervosa glucose loading stimulated release eight ten awake subjects, contrasting with unresponsiveness obese subjects stimuli We conclude that under CNS influence is importance suggest brain monitors nutritional state regulates according need.
